LITTLE BRAIN BOX: Young
Sherwyn Sarabi has the same IQ as
Einstein — if not higher.
The four-year-old has had his
IQ measured as ‘at least’ 160 and
that is as high as experts can
accurately test. Sherwyn of East
End Crescent, Royston, has already
read 940 books by himself,
including ones intended for
children more than twice his age. “I
have to be very careful about what
he is reading,” said his mum
Amanda.
She took him to see Dr Peter
Congdon, a consultant educational
psychologist, a year ago. His IQ
was measured at 136. She took him
again two weeks ago and Dr
Congdon said he has made ‘huge
progress’. He added: “I specialise in
profoundly gifted children. I have
been doing this for 40 years and it
is extremely rare to see a 160.”

What is happening to our
NHS is a worry — Dugher
MP
Michael
Dugher.

This could be a really
tough winter for our A
and E in Barnsley.
Many of the
warning signs were
there in the summer
when we saw the target
of 95 per cent of

patients being seen
within four hours
missed by the A and E
unit at Barnsley
Hospital in 24 out of 26
weeks.
But what’s
happening to our NHS,

and, in particular to A
and E, is a big worry.
Barnsley Hospital
has had its fair share of
problems, but it’s clear
that the responsibility
for the NHS’s A and E
crisis this winter lies

Let us spell it out to you…

…DO YOU WANT TO BE SMOKEFREE?
Let us show you the easier way to STOP SMOKING
…and treat yourself with the money you save

have high deprivation
and a lower life
expectancy.
This change would
deprive Barnsley of
£40.8m, a reduction of
13.5 per cent on its
current allocation — the
highest percentage loss
in the region.
Yet wealthier
areas, like in the south
of England where life
expectancy is higher
and where they have
fewer health needs, will
see an increase in
funding.
That’s why
together with the other
Barnsley MPs, I have
written to the Health
Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
to ask him to
reconsider their
proposals.
We all rely on our
NHS. I remember how
brilliant Sheffield
Children’s Hospital was
in caring for my
nephew who had
leukaemia. I also
remember how well the
NHS looked after my
grandad who suffered
from emphysema for
many years.
David Cameron’s
Government has left
the NHS reeling from a
vast, top-down and
expensive
reorganisation that
nobody wanted and
nobody voted for. Now
with the added
pressures through
winter and changes to
how we allocate NHS
funding to local areas,
things in Barnsley could
get worse.

with David Cameron.
Before the last general
election he promised to
protect the NHS, but
the reality is very
different.
Recent figures
showed that his
government cut
another 120 nursing
jobs in the Yorkshire
region in a single
month and 6,642
nurses have been lost
from the NHS since
David Cameron entered
Downing Street.
This year one
million people have
waited for more than
four hours to be seen at
A and E.
David Cameron’s
NHS has fewer nurses,
fewer beds, a shortage
of senior A and E
doctors and a further
reduction in social care
support.
Add to that the
fact that £3bn was
diverted from frontline
care to pay for the topdown reorganisation of
the NHS that has left
the our health service in
chaos.
The bad news is
that things in Barnsley
are set to get tougher
too.
The government is
in the process of
changing the formula
that allocates resources
to Clinical
Commissioning Groups
(CCGs).
The new plans will
shift the formula
weighting away from
health inequalities and
towards age as a key
determinant, which
clearly works against
areas like ours that

Eatery creates a stir with its food and service
Lazy Pasta is bringing an
authentic taste of Italy to South
Yorkshire — and Barnsley folk
are loving it.
The former Lucorum pub
on Hanson Street has had a
£400,000 makeover and now
serves up fresh Italian cuisine as
well as a range of wines and
cocktails.
Barnsley businessman Chris
Palmer had the Lucorum pub for
ten years but said he felt it was
time for a change, opening his
three-in-one dining and
socialising venue to offer people
in Barnsley a different
experience.
He said: “At weekends we’re
getting very busy. The reaction
so far has been 99.9 per cent
positive with most people
impressed by the quality of the

FEATURE
food and service.
“It’s surprising but at the
moment there’s not one dish
that is more popular than
another — everything is selling
well across the board.”
Since launching in
November the restaurant has
been attracting a lot of attention
and positive reviews on its Lazy
Pasta Barnsley Facebook page.
Many diners have praised
the dishes and cocktails as well
as the staff, prompting Jason
White to leave this comment:
“Can’t wait to go for a second
time on Thursday for my
birthday. You should visit this
place. Brilliant food and service.”
Serving a range of
traditional Italian meals as well

as pizzas, pastas and having a
specials board, the restaurant
boasts one of the world’s best
pizza chefs.
The Hanson Street site also
houses the Lazy Lounge bar,
which is open late at weekends
and gives customers the chance
to relax and enjoy a drink after
finishing their meal. Something
Mr Palmer says is special to Lazy
Pasta.
“A lot of places have a prebar, as do we, but the minute
you’ve finished your meal you
normally get shoved out the
door because the table is
needed.
“Here you can go and carry
on enjoying your night in the
lounge.
“I’m not aware of anywhere
in Leeds or Sheffield that offers
quite what we do.”
Early bird, business lunch
and lunch offers start at £9.95
for two and include a portion of
pizza and pasta each, as well as
a glass of wine.
The restaurant is open from
11am for coffee and cake, with
meals served from 12 noon until
10.30pm.

This year celebrates the 35th
anniversary of the slogan ‘A
dog is for life, not just for
Christmas’.
It was famously created
by Clarissa Baldwin, then chief
executive of the Dogs Trust in
1978, and is still as relevant
today as it was all those years
ago. The long-standing
campaign aims to raise
awareness of the
consequences of treating dogs
as gifts or toys.
Every year hundreds of
thousands of children plead for
the latest fad or top toy on the
market, only to discard them a
few weeks after Christmas
when the novelty wears off.
Unfortunately, the same
perception is also apparent
with dogs. But what are the
consequences?
Rescue centres in Barnsley
are faced with the constant
challenge of keeping abused
and abandoned dogs safe.
Ann Taylor, of Barnsley
and District Animal Welfare,
said: “In all the years that
BADAW has been running I
have never known a lead up to
Christmas like this one. We
have been getting phone calls

every day from people asking
us to take in their dogs.
“Various reasons are
offered from a partner being
pregnant, to having to move
into rented accommodation
and the landlord won’t accept
pets. Rescue centres are full
already, and are bracing
themselves for March when the
puppy bought as a Christmas
present gets thrown out.”
Many unwanted dogs end
up in pounds where they are
kept for just seven days. Then if
no one claims them, or rescue
centres cannot offer a space,
they are put down, which last
year was almost 9,000,
according to the Dogs Trust.
Ann said: “Rescue centres
may not put healthy dogs
down but council pounds have
to in order to make way for the
new ones the dog warden
brings in.”
The Dogs Trust has been
saying ‘a dog is for life, not just
for Christmas’ for 35 years, so
they’re starting a new
campaign, presspaws.org.uk, to
try to make people think
before they buy one.
“It’s easier than ever to
buy a dog now – online, in

BADAW’s
‘Tyke’ who
has been
recently
rehomed.

markets, and pet shops, from
some boy in the street,” said
Ann. “More than 50,000 a year
comes flooding in from
battery-style puppy farms,
usually even nastier than some
dog-pounds, but they are still
often licensed by councils.”
All rescue charities are
urging people not to buy a
puppy for Christmas and to
think seriously before getting a
dog. They are trying to get the
message across that it is a
lifetime commitment and
people need to consider the
cost and be sure that they can
give the dog proper housing
and the sufficient time and
exercise it needs.
Ann said: “There are more

dogs in the pounds than can
be found homes for. Contrary
to popular belief pound and
rescue centres do get puppies
in, or if people want a specific
breed of dog there is at least
one rescue centre in this
country for every breed.”
I Barnsley and District
Animal Welfare desperately
needs foster homes, preferably
where there is no existing dog.
Sometimes dogs taken in are
poorly with kennel cough
which is highly contagious, and
could be passed on to an
existing family dog. Food and
all other supplies are provided
for the dog so there is no
expense to those fostering.

NO NEED TO PANIC OVER CHRISTMAS!

Losing weight and getting healthy doesn’t have to be hard work

Councils
combine
gritting
‘tweets’
Motorists in Barnsley
should be able to plan
journeys during wintry
weather much easier with
a new social media
project.
Combined gritting
alerts and winter
maintenance information
is to be made available to
Twitter users through the
new hashtag #sygrit.
The idea is to bring
together tweets by
Barnsley, Sheffield,
Rotherham and
Doncaster councils, as
each council is adding
the #sygrit hashtag to
their gritting tweets.
Twitter users can
then access the
combined information
from all four authorities
by searching for #sygrit
to find out which roads
and routes have been
gritted.
Coun Roy Miller said:
“We can’t guarantee that
grit will make the roads
completely free of snow
and ice but we can
reassure people across
South Yorkshire that we
are on the case.”

I Beauty
and the
Beast is
coming to
The Civic.

You beauty! Top show coming to Civic
Beauty and the Beast is coming to
The Civic this winter, making for a
perfect family trip out.
As the story goes, Belle’s
(Beauty) dad gives her away to the
Beast to spare his own life. But all
is not as it seems, just like in most
fairytales.

Miz DeShannon, from The
Civic, said: “The whole show is
directed towards families and
children, with some great songs
and usual theatrical fun.
“The whole team has been
rehearsing music for the show in
the last month, which includes a

piece with Julian Butler alongside
David McAlmont, unique for the
show and we’ll have a world
premiere of it right here at The
Civic.”
Not only does the production
sound good, it looks good too.
Miz said: “Lydia Denno the set

designer has based the palace and
other scenery on the work of art
nouveau designer and architect
Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it really
is beautiful.”
Beauty and the Beast will be
shown at The Civic throughout
December, dates are: Today, 10am,

artwork and photographs) and to include and make them
available in any information service, electronic or otherwise.
6 Advertiser’s Property
All artwork, photographs, leaflets, film or other property
delivered by the Advertiser to the Company is held by the
Company at the Advertiser’s risk and the Advertiser should
insure all such property against loss or damage from whatsoever cause. The Company reserves the right to destroy

7 Box Numbers
(i) The Company will endeavour to forward all replies to a box
number, to the Advertiser, as soon as possible after receipt,
but the Company accepts no liability in respect of any loss or
damage alleged to have arisen through delay in forwarding or
omitting to forward such replies, howsoever caused. Box
addresses must not be used for sending goods or materials

examine material passing through boxes and hereby authorises the Company to return to its originator or destroy any
communication, which, in the opinion of the Company,

will be made where the error, misprint or omission does not
materially detract from the advertisement. (iii) In no circumstances shall the Company’s total liability (including consequential liability) in respect of any error, misprint or omission

the Company for the advertisement in connection with which
liability arose, or the cost of a further or corrective advertisement of a type and standard reasonably comparable to that in
connection with which liability arose. (iv) Save as set out in
this paragraph 9, the Company accepts no liability in respect
of any loss or damage occasioned directly or indirectly as a
result of the publication of any advertisement or any loss or
damage occasioned directly or indirectly by any total or partial failure (however caused) of the publication of any advertisement in any of the Company’s newspapers, other publications or internet sites in which the advertisement is scheduled

to the foregoing, these conditions of acceptance specifically
extend to any personal guarantee given by the directors of or
any other person on behalf of a recognised agency in respect
of any unsatisfied liabilities of the agency in the event of the
agency’s liquidation or insolvency. Such guarantee is part of
these conditions of acceptance.
13 Leaflets

other publication or material distributed with any of the
Company’s newspapers or magazines is deemed to be an
‘advertisement’, and references to the publication of such
